Open Space Diagram <br />Priority is given to public space and the appropriate location of these <br />spaces within the master plan. The Plan organizes the streets and blocks <br />to create a hierarchy of public spaces. Squares and streets have their size <br />and geometry defused by the inrenrion to create special places. Buildings <br />gain identity by occupying sites that overlook public spaces and help <br />define these spaces within a neighborhood. If needed these manmade <br />open spaces can be utilized as retention beds for stormwater runoff. <br />The plan designates several major open spaces within each of the five <br />precincts. In the east precinct a large quad defined by research buildings <br />is the focal point for the research campus. This space is dimensionally <br />based on McCorkle Place and its relationship to Franklin Street. In the <br />north precinct a small linear space helps organize the research campus <br />buildings, retail and parking decks. In the central precinct a crescent <br />shaped space is the focal point of the town center It connects axially to <br />a large recreational square, which connects to a linear park linking the <br />precinct to the transit busway. In the hilltop precinct the buildings are <br />organized around a linear park with a town square at the western end, <br />that is defined by the transit stop, parking garage, and retail shops. In the <br />wescem precinct several small scale pocket parks provide active and pas- <br />sive areas for the residential inhabitants. Between the eastern and cen- <br />ualprecincts the landfill area is also utilized as recreational playing fields. <br />
